Is this Contempt?

Ok Bf has CO ordered visits with his son. BM has suspended visits since 01/03/11. She just went to see a new attorny. She is claiming that after a family argument my BF had with his very unstable Mom that the boys or in danger (eyeroll).

So my question is and I'm am under the impression, she is withholding the boys illegally! Should she or her old attorny filed for an emergency hearing infront of a judge with in days of with holding visits. If so does this not make her violation of CO visitation.

MY BFF had her EXH refuse to return the boys to her and went she went to the police station she was served with papers for an emergency hearing the NEXT DAY.

Can anyone help me.

Sure looks like contempt.

Before running off to Court, is she a fairly reasonable person otherwise? She might have a point if she can prove that there are verbal arguments in front of the children on a regular basis.

My first response would be to address the issue head on and send a brief, informative, factual email regarding the incident and what safeguards you are going to put in place so that the children are not exposed to a similar incident in the future and ask for makeup time for the lost visitation.

Save all responses. If she denies further visitation, file a contempt motion against her. You should be able to do this yourself.

Good luck

No resonable HAHAHAHAHA!!! she is a spitefull vindictive BM, this was all done out of spite.

She has already retained a lawyer and we are going to see ours on Monday, he is a GREAT Lawyer but he deals with mostly Traffic and Criminal. I do know one of the other lawyers in his firm does family law, so he may very well pass it off to he. He has ALOT of pull in our county, with judges and such. I just wanted be sure I was not talking out of my ass when we go. We are also going to ask that all communication from this point on be via email. So there is no more he said, she said, no more harrasment, no more calls because she needs advise about her dating life and the guy who just dumped her.

Yes all this came about after she got dumped 2 time in a handfull of months, she is bitter about our realtionahip, she's ok with it when she has a BF, but when she doesn't she does things like this, this being the worst! so far

May I suggest that you get the book "Divorce Poison" if you don't have one already.

Sounds like your BM is gearing up for a fight and you need to be very proactive right now. Also check out the website thepyschoexwife.com and read low/no contact.

Our BM is very difficult and ranks right up there with the worst of the worst. You have my sympathy.
